Consistent Effort Delivers a Strong Olympic-Distance Finish Timby posted a swift swim, exiting the Snake River in 19:30, good for 12th in his division and setting up a smooth transition into the bike leg. On the bike, he covered the course at a strong 19.2 mph average, holding a steady pace that kept him inside the top 100 overall through most of the ride, though his division rank slipped slightly to 18th by bike's end, suggesting this leg may hold the most room for gains relative to his competitors. He came off the bike efficiently, with a snappy 1:49 T2, and settled into a run pace hovering around 9:00/mile. Timby showed strong closing speed, trimming his division deficit back to 16th by the finish. Across 31.65 miles of racing, he finished in 2:35:54, placing 103rd out of 1,987 men a well-rounded performance with a clear bike-speed strength to build on.
